“Hi Amanda
What can I say outstanding professional service.
At all times very respectful with highest level of dignity.
Amanda, you came to our house and with love and gentleness helped us work though our toughest day.
You reminded us to remember the happy times as we worked together to create a tribute to our dad’s funeral.
Amanda your guidance was never forceful always respectful and considered.
To quote my mum “like an angel”. Amanda delivered the service with love it made us feel that she was family.
Speaking with mum tonight, she would like to say Amanda you were very graceful.
A perfect match of a truly gifted celebrant.
Our family can only say thank-you for a difficult and wonderful day to celebrate Dad's life in one day.”

“Hi Amanda
I would like to extend my personal thanks to you.
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for treating my father’s life with respect when you honoured him.
I would also like to thank you for the manner in which you treated my mother.
My mother is very much right below when she said you put feeling into the diction in which you delivered your speech.
I wish you all the best. Thank you.

Dear Amanda
I didn’t get a chance to see you after M’s service on Friday, to thank you.
I am truly grateful to you for all that you did to make the afternoon so special.
You really understood what we wanted and absolutely delivered. I had several people comment to me that it was such a beautiful service.
I have been to and heard of funerals that are so impersonal, but you presented as though you knew (and loved) M personally.
Your calming influence made it so much easier for me to read M’s eulogy.
That was the first time I had read it without crying.
Thank you, Amanda, for the beautiful candles – a lovely touch and will be treasured.
I also so appreciate the “goodie bag” that we were given at the end, with a copy of the service as well as the flower seeds and record of attendance cards – what a lovely idea.
I can’t thank you enough for your support and for turning around a very difficult time and making it special. I absolutely will recommend you to anyone who is in need of your services.
Thank you again so much

Good afternoon Amanda,
Thank you for the very respectful way you conducted my husband’s funeral on Thursday.
We have had quite a few messages from people saying how they thought it was a beautiful service and how well you conducted it.
Thank you for the lovely candle . It was a very kind thought and much appreciated.
I felt that you were wonderful with me at the chapel. Your comfort and support when walking in was just what I needed.
I just couldn`t have done that on my own.

“Amanda
Thank YOU for honouring my dad in such a powerful way and holding space for me, my mum and family on the day.
Thank YOU for your flexibility and commitment to getting the Eulogy just right and facilitating some sticky points along the way.
You captured dads spirit so well and how blessed were we to have the impromptu sound scape of urban life add a mystical touch to the ceremony.
When that final siren sounded - I imagined my dad riding in on his motorbike and giving us one last wave.
Thank YOU for your strength and compassion.”

What People Are Saying
“Thank you very much for all your efforts towards the funeral service for my mum.
I really loved how you put together the introduction using the words we had used to describe Mum. You are oviously a good listener and you painted a brief, yet comprehensive picture of mum. Thank you very much for this. I also really loved the various quotes you used during the service. People have mentioned how clearly you spoke, which is so important.
I enjoyed the funeral service yesterday, which may sound weird, but I think that we were able to honour Mum in a loving and beautiful way, and for that, I thank you very much.

Dear Amanda
Thank you for the wonderful service.
All the family and our friends were very complimentary.
You took the few ingredients I gave you, you then added your
own herbs and spices, then baked the whole thing to perfection

Hi Amanda
I would like to thank you for the beautiful funeral service you held for my Mum. You made the process extremely easy, in very trying times for myself.
Talking to the other guests, they all agreed that service truly captured my Mums spirit and she would have been extremely happy with the way she was remembered.
Thank you for everything you did.

“I would like to thank you for an excellent funeral service you carried out for our beloved mum..
We could not have asked for a better celebrant. You were so accomodative with times, extremly thorough and patient with getting all details regarding mum.
You did more research into mum that what we expected.
You were so gentle and composed.
We would recommend you ( not that you may need any) to all our friends and family who may need your service.
So thank you.

“C and I just wanted to send you a message of thanks for all that you have done for us over the past couple of weeks in helping us say goodbye to our beautiful mum.
We couldn't have asked for anything better everything was just as we wanted and was absolutely perfect.
We have received a lovely message from our cousins in the UK who joined via the live stream link and they were so grateful to be included and felt that they were with us albeit many miles away.
We have had so many comments from friends and family saying how lovely the day was and what a fitting send off it was for mum.
So from the bottom of our hearts thanks so much to you both and your helpers for making yesterday a day that, whilst sad for us, was also a day that will be remembered knowing that we, with your help, gave mum the send off she deserved and we know she would have loved it.
Thanks again from both of us.”
